Claire, most of them can be found in the Swatches menu > Swatch Libraries Menu (lower left corner in the panel) > Patterns > Basic Graphics > Lines.

Or can be created with simple lines and Object > Pattern > Make...

Don't try to make them under a 45 degree angle, just make horizontal versions an use the Rotate tool to transform them with the Pattern only option checked.

You can use the pattern editor to create both. Remember to create patterns in horizontal or vertical direction. 

 

The pattern editor can be found in Object > Pattern > Make

The pattern will be added to the Swatches panel

Draw a rectangle

Copy and paste in front

Select both and create a compound path.

Then make the pattern
